What's special about us...

Holidays in perfect places

Fishing boats in Essaouira
Andalucian Adventures grew out of John Brough's love of searching for the more rural Europe. This philosophy of trying to get to the heart of locations has continued to this day, and is reflected in our insistence on using only local leaders whose lives are entwined in the landscapes they share with our guests. You will therefore enjoy not only the uniquely beautiful scenery, but also be party to local events. Over the years our guests have joined in festivals, attended christenings and weddings and even entered the local watercolour contests.
Natural Parks and Responsible Tourism

Responsible Tourism is very much a buzz word today. Since its inception, Andalucian Adventures has been committed to giving more to the regions than we take out. We have worked closely with Natural Parks, respected their guidelines, helped with their translations, and where possible we use locally-owned hotels, restaurants and coaches. Our guides reflect these values and by way of example many of them are involved in organic small holdings and farming.

Local staff

Whether you are being guided by one of our walking leaders or supported by one of our back-up staff, our local leaders will not only make you feel safe and relaxed but also enable you to truly immerse yourself in local life by learning about the culture, history, flora and fauna of the region.

Mixing activities

Many friends and couples find it hard to share holidays due to their differing interests and objectives. We regularly offer weeks when different activities run at the same time in the same location. Many groups of friends have come with us to new destinations year after year to share these weeks.

Travelling alone

Our holidays are perfect for people travelling alone. Not only will you be extremely well looked after throughout the holiday by our guides, but you are sure to make some wonderful friendships among the group! We offer some supplement-free rooms and supplement-free weeks in the Isles of Scilly, Montsant and Subbética.

Choosing your holiday

This is never going to be easy with so much choice. However to help you, our office staff know all the leaders and tutors and they regularly travel to our destinations to ensure they get to know both our locations and our leaders – test them out when you phone for a brochure!

Fully inclusive holidays

Whether it's wine with your dinner, entry fees to special places, local transport, ad-hoc stops for regional treats, or even doughnuts in the square... for all our holidays it's included!

Seasons

Our dates are chosen quite simply to ensure you see the locations at their very best.

Staying a bit longer

There are some great cities in the regions we visit and it's very easy for you to enjoy these as an extension to your holiday. If you would like some help choosing a hotel, then please ask us for more information.

Special requests

With leaders like ours you will be able to request almost anything! Certainly anniversary flowers, early morning taxis to watch the dawn, recommendations for a day on your own, bike hire or horse rides are all part of a day in the life of an AA leader!

Half-price holidays

Not only do we depend on our guests for their suggestions for improvements and new holidays, but also for their loyalty - by way of a thank you we offer everyone a 50% discount on their sixth trip for 7-night holidays.

Great food and wine

The different countries we visit offer a wide range of local specialities. We specifically request dishes that are both local to the region and in season. Wherever possible, wines are from local vineyards.

Special diets

Once our leaders and tutors are made aware of any special dietary needs, they will always do their very best to ensure these are met.
